These easy to make, yeasted flatbreads are naturally gluten free, dairy free, and vegan – and a delicious addition to so many meals. Serve them alongside Indian dishes, pair them with Greek inspired toppings, or enjoy them with soup for lunch. They’re incredibly versatile and really tasty too, requiring only a handful of ingredients. If you do make this recipe I’d love to see, don’t forget to tag me in your photos over on social media!

Frequently asked questions:

Which yeast do you use? 

I use the Allison’s Easy Bake Yeast which is available in most major UK supermarkets.

Which dairy free yoghurt do you use?

I use the Alpro plain with no sugars for this recipe, but any dairy free plain yoghurt would work.

Which flour do you use for the cake? 

For this recipe, and the majority of my bakes, I use the FREEE Gluten Free plain Flour which works really well in gluten free baking. You will also need add xanthan gum, I use the FREEE xanthan gum for all of my gluten free baking.

How long do the flat bread last once cooked? 

These flat breads are best eaten fresh and warm however can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or in the toaster before eating. You can also freeze them once cooked and reheat from frozen.

Baking Tips

-Use a Baking Thermometer to check the heat of your water before adding the yeast, the water will need to be around 43°C in order for the yeast to activate. If you do not have a baking thermometer this feels like warm bath water to touch – you don’t want the water to be too hot otherwise it will kill the yeast, if it is too cold the yeast will not activate.

-These flat breads are really versatile – add melted dairy free butter, mixed herbs and garlic granules and bake in the oven to create garlic flat breads.
